Chapter 31 The Injured Instructor Han?
Han Li turned around, rubbed her throat where she was choking, and frantically told herself that this was just an accident.
Once he felt his facial expression had returned to normal, he turned around and casually glanced at the crowd below.
"Are there any other answers?!"
After thinking for a while, Baili Pangpang raised his hand and answered.
"Report, it's all about money!"
Instructor Han's expression froze for a moment before he began to reprimand him.
"Money? Does that mean we give it gold coins when we fight the mysterious creature?"
He didn't know what other outrageous answers might come next, so he simply stopped asking and solemnly spoke.
"To fight against the mysterious, in addition to relying on your own forbidden realms, you also need rich combat experience, a strong physique, and varied attack methods!"
Simply put, aside from relying on forbidden ruins, we generally use two methods in combat: ranged attacks and close-quarters combat.
Ranged attacks can be surprisingly effective against low-level mystics, but when facing high-level mystics, close combat is the only way to win!
And I am the instructor who will teach you close combat and the use of melee weapons.
As Instructor Han spoke, he unfastened the Star Blade hanging from his waist.
"Among the Night's Watch members, except in special circumstances, they are generally equipped with the standard weapon, the Starblade..."
He went on to explain the advantages of a straight sword and the techniques for drawing and sheathing it. Apart from Li Jie and Lin Qiye, who had received special training, the other recruits listened with great interest.
“Now, let’s find a few people to demonstrate.” He took two bamboo knives from the wooden shelf and scanned the recruits in the room.
"Where's that fat guy who said he needed money to play the mystery game? Come up here and demonstrate!"
Baili Tuming chuckled and clumsily climbed onto the platform.
Instructor Han handed him the bamboo knife, signaling Fatty to attack him.
A chubby, somewhat goofy-looking boy scratched his head sheepishly.
"Instructor, I don't know how to use a knife..."
"Then bury me in your money!" Instructor Han said as he swung his knife at the chubby guy with all the obvious flaws.
Just as the bamboo knife was about to strike Fatty, [Yao Guang] was automatically triggered. A flash of golden light, and the bamboo knife in Instructor Han's hand broke into three pieces.
A swordsmanship champion looked at the lonely bamboo handle in his hand and fell into deep thought.
When he realized that he couldn't break through the fat man's defense with his bamboo sword, he pointed dejectedly at the harmless little fat boy in the arena.
"You, get off. We'll find someone else."
"Oh~" When he left the field, Baili Tuming's steps were noticeably lighter, which dealt another heavy blow to the embarrassed Instructor Han.
Was he just faking it?
Han Li took a deep breath to calm himself down and scanned the new recruits below the field with his fierce eyes.
Then he saw a thin, white-haired boy.
He looks so weak and frail, he should be easy to bully.
"Ahem, you, the white-haired recruit, yes, I'm talking to you, come up here!"
Hmm? Gray hair?
When Baili Tuming, who had just jumped off the field, heard Instructor Han's words, he turned his head and looked in the direction he was pointing.
After confirming that he was referring to Li Jie, he hesitated before speaking to the confident instructor on the stage.
"Hey, Instructor Han? Why don't you find someone else?"
Hearing the chubby boy who had just embarrassed him tell him to switch partners.
He hesitated for a moment, wondering if the white-haired boy also possessed forbidden items.
"Kid, do you have any prohibited items on you?"
Li Jie shook his head.
Seeing this, Instructor Han's confidence soared. The previous mistake was purely accidental. This time, he was determined to show the new recruits his prowess!
"You're the one, come on up!"
Li Jie, who had thought that Instructor Han would replace him with someone else based on Baili Pangpang's suggestion, walked onto the podium with a strange expression.
The facial expressions of Lin Qiye and the others standing below the stage were quite interesting, ranging from surprise, confusion, to sneer.
Han Li was somewhat puzzled by the pitying looks on the faces of the people below the stage.
Why are they looking at me like that? The way they look at me is like they're looking at a dead person.
No, I must be mistaken...
How outrageous can a new recruit be?
Li Jie stood on the stage, facing Instructor Han.
The latter turned around and spoke to the new recruits below the stage.
"That was an accident. Now we'll explain sword techniques that can be used in actual combat, like this..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than he swung his knife at Li Jie with lightning speed.
The latter, however, extended two fingers and precisely caught the bamboo knife that was aimed at his face.
Han Li stared in astonishment at Li Jie's expressionless face.
No, even a bamboo knife shouldn't be clamped like that.
You should know that their forbidden areas are now sealed by the [Suppressing Ruins Stele]. If an ordinary person were to be struck by his blade, they would be bedridden for at least a day.
The white-haired youth in front of him effortlessly caught the powerful slash with just two fingers.
No matter what you think, something is wrong.
"Ahem, that's a wrong demonstration, because this comrade doesn't have a weapon in his hand, and I didn't exert any force."
"Kid, pick up the bamboo knife on the ground."
Instructor Han could only awkwardly try to salvage the situation, otherwise he would have lost face after two failed demonstrations.
Upon hearing the instructor tell Li Jie to pick up the knife... Lin Qiye's expression became increasingly interesting.
Cao Yuan, who had appeared beside him at some unknown time, asked with a sincere expression.
"Seven Nights, why do you have such a smug look on your face?"
Lin Qiye: ???
Baili Pangpang: ???
"If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. It's not good to let others misunderstand you."
He looked helplessly at Cao Yuan, who was leaning closer, and said.
"I was just thinking about some fun things and I didn't manage my facial expressions properly."
Fun things?
Seeing the questioning looks on the two people beside him, Lin Qiye gestured towards the stage.
"See for yourselves."
After Li Jie picked up the bamboo knife from the ground, he tentatively asked a question.
"Instructor, how do you want to demonstrate?"
Hearing Li Jie's question, Han Li became a little angry.
Did these new recruits even listen to what I just said?
"Come on, use all your skills to attack me! Don't worry, I'll go easy on you. This is the price you pay for not paying attention in class!"
Let him attack at will?
Can he handle it?
Li Jie knew that Instructor Han wasn't a bad person at heart; he was just unlucky.
In the end, he still chose to save face for him.
He made a symbolic slash in mid-air, then walked off the stage.
Han Li, who was just getting into an attack stance to teach him a lesson, saw Li Jie simply swing his knife and turn to leave, which infuriated him.
"you........"
Just as he was about to shout, he felt his hand become lighter.
My newly replaced bamboo knife broke in two again.
Um? ?
Are these bamboo knives of such poor quality?
There was no collision, so how did it break...?
A murmur of surprise rippled through the audience.
"Look, look, is Instructor Han injured?"
"Huh? It looks pretty much like it, there's blood in it..."
"Has the old injury flared up again?"
"It doesn't seem like it. Such a small wound would have healed long ago if it were an old injury..."
"........."
As Han Li gradually sensed something was wrong, he touched his forehead and, upon seeing the bloodstains on his hand, fell into deep self-doubt once again.
What kind of monsters are these...?
